Both
of my children spent the first couple months of their lives sleeping in a
clip on bassinet/pack-and-play right next to my bed. It was big and bulky, but worked. Now that we have moved to a new home, there is simply not room next to my bed for a huge pack-and-play.
Those first couple of
months after each child was born I remember being utterly exhausted and constantly waking up in the
middle of the night to check on them, feed them, or change diapers.
Having them right next to me just made sense and was easier on me and my
children.
Whenever
I wanted to take my sleeping baby around the house with me I used a padded
laundry basket or I simply carried my baby in my arms. Sometimes they woke up
and sometimes they slept. I really wanted a mosses basket, but I never got around
to buying one.
I have to admit that I have secretly been drooling over this bassinet for a while now. So when I was given the opportunity to review it I did a little happy dance… Okay, a big happy dance. So why am I so excited about this bassinet? Because it is not just a simple bassinet, it is so much more.
The Contours Classique 3-in-1Bassinet is a multi-functional bassinet that takes up a fraction of the space a standard pack and play does. The Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet is bassinet, changing table, and mosses basket all in one! It also has tons of storage and can be wheeled around thanks to the lockable roll casters located on the base of the bassinet. Amazing!

What we love about the
Contours Classique 3-in-1
Bassinet:
- It is multifunctional. Baby gear can accumulate {part of me thinks that baby gear multiplies when you aren’t looking!} and take over, so products that serve multiple purposes are a blessing! The Contours Classique 3-in-1 Bassinet is a bassinet, a Mosses basket, and a changing table.
- The fabric is gender neutral and is pretty to look at. It blends in with my home décor and looks classic and chic. The wood frame is sturdy and the cream fabric is simply beautiful.
- There is a lot of storage. There is a hanging deluxe storage organizer for diapers, wipes, and ointments on the side of the bassinet {so it is easily within reach}. There is also a basket located at the base of the bassinet that is easily large enough to hold extra swaddle blankets, sleepers, clothing, and accessories {pacifiers, toys, and first aid kit}.
- It rolls. It sounds silly, but I love that fact that this bassinet has casters on its base for easy portability. I like that the casters lock {for security} even more. I am constantly moving around the house and like the idea of being able to keep the baby with me and out of my toddlers reach.
- The changing table can be used even after the baby outgrows the bassinet. The bassinet is designed to be used by infants up to 3 months of age {or up to a weight of 15 pounds}. The Changing table may be used for infants up to 25 lbs. The changing table is also very easy to attach and detach from the bassinet and store underneath when not in use.
- The Mosses basket is easy to pick up and move around thanks to the sturdy handles and it has breathable mesh sides too! Did I mention that it comes with a washable cloth fitted sheet?
